Discover the future of medicine with our BSc (Hons) Medicinal and Pharmaceutical Chemistry with AI degree. This course blends the precision of chemistry with the power of artificial intelligence (AI), giving you the skills to accelerate drug discovery, develop innovative treatments, and contribute towards ground breaking medical research.
During your first year, you’ll develop practical skills in coding, computational thinking, and data analysis. As the course progresses, you’ll explore more advanced areas such as computer-based drug design, machine learning, and AI applications in pharmaceutical research. These areas of learning will ensure you have the skills to design, train, and evaluate AI systems that solve existing chemical challenges.
From the outset, you’ll gain hands-on laboratory experience and work on projects influenced by our leading researchers and industry partners. There’s also the opportunity to study abroad or complete an industry placement, providing you with immersive experience and a global perspective on the future of medicine.
When you graduate, you will leave with a strong foundation in chemistry and AI, prepared to drive innovation in drug discovery, pharmaceutical technology, and emerging medical fields.
